Nalini arrives in Australia with Gruppetto Fund

This collaboration combines Nalini's craftsmanship expertise, synonymous with Italian quality and cutting-edge performance, with Gruppetto Fund's dynamic vision, focused on funding and supporting activities for young people in need through cycling. Gruppetto Fund, based in Australia, runs one of Australia’s largest cycling themed lunches and it does so to raise much needed funds to support disadvantaged children through a sporting context. Gruppetto Fund currently has several collaborations with companies specialising in cycling; however, the partnership with Nalini is exclusive for clothing. Nalini, in agreement with the management of Gruppetto Fund, will be offering the chance to win a unique experience with the Picnic PostNL athletes at the upcoming Tour Down Under and the opportunity to create customised garments of the highest technical quality — the same quality provided to local teams such as the Butterfield team in Adelaide — at the event scheduled for 15 May in Adelaide.

Paolo Pizzamiglio, Commercial Director of Nalini  "For Nalini, the collaboration with Gruppetto Fund allows us to express the values, objectives and specific characteristics of our brand. If the commercial objective is to present ourselves in the best possible light in a market such as Australia, which is booming and has a strong focus on quality and performance, this opportunity allows us to do so while expressing the cornerstones of the brand. Supporting charitable initiatives aimed at helping young people reflects Nalini's ethics, which have already been demonstrated through the Nalini Academy project and support for para-cyclists such as the Equa team."

Giuseppe Bovo, Managing Director of Nalini  “Australia is an extremely strategic market for Nalini, with a rapidly growing cycling culture and a public that is increasingly attentive to quality and technical innovation. This partnership with Gruppetto Fund is not just a commercial opportunity: it is concrete proof that doing business responsibly also means leaving a positive mark on the communities in which we operate. Knowing that our presence in Australia will help support young people in need through the charitable initiatives of Gruppetto Fund fills us with pride. This is exactly how Nalini intends to grow internationally: by bringing with us not only the quality of Italian manufacturing, but also the human values that have always guided our company. This initiative is in line with our Nalini Academy project, which I am a direct promoter of and in which I strongly believe.” 

Adam Murchie, Founding Committee Member, Gruppetto Fund  "We are delighted to have Nalini join the Gruppetto Fund as our exclusive Apparel sponsor for our 2026 “Off the Wheel” cycling lunch. Over the last 10 years, the Gruppetto Fund has worked tirelessly to make this event into one of the most recognised business networking events in Melbourne and having a global sponsor of the calibre of Nalini underpins how successful this event has become. We are grateful for Nalini’s support and can’t wait to work alongside them to both showcase their cycling apparel’s technical capabilities and also support some children in need."
